Title of Laboratory 1
Appreciating Plants in the Environment
Which has watery environments as a habitat?
Algae vs. Bryophytes
algae
Which has unicellular cells?
Algae vs. Bryophytes
Bryophytes
Do algae have stomates?
no, they get their nutrients from the surface.
Both algae and bryophytes have chloroplasts.
True or False
True
Where are the stomates of bryophytes located?
On the sporangia
haploid gametophytes to haploid spores.
Alternation of generation of algae or bryophytes?
Algae
What is the alternation of generation of bryophytes?
Independent gametophyte (gametes) or dependent (spores)
Mode of reproduction of algae?
Sexual or asexual.
What are the 3 types of bryophytes?
Hornworts, liverworts, and mosses
What is the spore maturation of all 3 bryophyte types?
sporangia developing on sporophytes
What is the distinguishing habitat of mosses?
Rocks and tree bark.
Structure of liverworts.
thallus, rhizoids, and reproductive structures.
The 3 components of the structure of mosses.
gametophyte, rhizoids, and sporophytes
A stalk connecting the sporangium to the sporophyte.
Seta
What is the capsule form of hornworts?
Slender, upright capsules.
Do hornworts have stomata? (If yes, where)
yes, on the surface of the sporophyte.
Do liverworts have stomata? (If yes, where)
No, they don’t have leaves.
What is the role of stomata in mosses?
promotes water loss, regulates moisture levels, and aids in growth & development
Hornworts have seta.
True or false.
False.
leaves of seed & fern plants; has branched/parallel vascular bundles
Megaphyll vs. Megasporophyll
Megaphyll
Part of the leaf that supports the developing ovule.
Megaphyll vs. Megasporophyll
Megasporophyll
female reproductive system, has ovules
——- Cone
Ovulate cone
male reproductive system, produces pollen
——- Cone
Staminate cones
Primitive plant, single-celled, forms multicellular but not highly organized structures.
Thallophytes
More advanced plant, has vascular tissues to transport water, sugar, and nutrients.
Tracheophytes
Plant-like living organisms the reproduce through spores.
Cryptogram
seed/flowering plants
Phanerogram/Angiosperms
Why are pteridophytes common in damp, moist areas?
Their fertilization relies on water.
Why are gymnosperms generally woody?
They produce lignin.
What is lignin?
A polymer provides support and rigidity to vascular tissues.
